Restoril

Restoril, containing the active ingredient temazepam, is a prescription medication classified as a benzodiazepine, primarily used to manage short-term insomnia. By enhancing the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that calms the brain, Restoril helps patients fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It is particularly effective for individuals experiencing difficulty with sleep initiation or frequent awakenings. Available in capsule form, Restoril should be taken shortly before bedtime. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and potential dependency, highlighting the importance of using it under medical supervision.
